TEMPERANCE IN OHIO.
The Effects of the Dow Tax Law and the
I.ocal Opfion Provis;cr


Local Option Provision.
Governor Foraker in recent letter, in
reply to request for information by the
New York Eueniag Post, has given this
striking testimony to the efficacy of the
Dow law:
The law is now in complete and sue
cessful operation throughout the State.
The imposition of the tax has caused MANY
saloons to close. 1t would be safe, perhaps,
to estimate the number that have closed on
this account at as many as three thousand
out of total of fifteen or sixteen thousand
in the State. Under the local option feature
of Section IL, prohibition has been adopted
in at least $50, and perhaps 200, municipal
corporations of the State, and, as a result,
in all of these there is, or will be in the
course of time, absolute prohibition. I'm
der this feature of the law probably 1000
saloons have been closed. The law is very
simple in its character. 1t embodies the
two principles OF taxation and regulation,
the chief feature being taxation and mu-
nicipal local option. License is prohibited
by our Constitution, but if it were not,
am sure that in view of our experience our
people would prefer taxation, for the reason
that it is simpler and in many respects an
swer5 the same purpose, while freeing the
State from all appearance of completely
with the business, as many claim is the
case where the State, by issuing license,
grants right to engage in the business
So far, the local option feature has worked
very well. While many towns have under
il adopted prohibition, many others have
voted it down. In other words, prohibi-
ton has been declared only in those COM
munities where there is public sentiment
to demand it, and to uphold and enforce
the law it has been adopted

This Garden spot of the STATE

The Napa Register of the 10Th ultimo
says: In recent issue of the Chicago
| Times is letter from the pen of Mrs. NJ S.
Carlile- 1t was written in this CITY, the
chosen home of the writer and her hus.
band, Hon. w. d. Garlic. From this letter
we make the following extract:
Upper California has recently been as
serting her claims to patronage, and when
| the same amount of capital has been ex-
pended that has wreathed the southern
country in beauty, victory will perch upon
her banners, for she has greater water re-
sources and wooded hills, and it has been
proved that oranges and all semi-tropical
fruits can be raised with as great success as
at Riverside or Pasadena But if one
would lay up goodly inheritance, let him
turn his attention to olive-raising Trees
| bear IN five years, each year producing
| larger crops until they reach maturity.
The average life of an olive tree is three
| hundred years. The industry is not gen.
eral, but has been demonstrated enough to
prove the above fact. Northern California,
with the crest of its foothills in olives,
where frosts never reach; its sidehills in
prunes, peaches and pears and its valleys
waving with myriad vineyards, has a
future that will place fortunes within the
reach of many, and make luxurious with
vegetation the great tracts of uncultiyated
lands everywhere through this section.
ranging in price from 81 so to $50 per
acre.
1.-TWO hours ride from San Francisco in
northeasterly direction lies Napa valley.
Surely in creations morning there fell
from Gods horn of plenty all blessings ma
ture could bestow. Napa is the most
favored OF counties, the garden spot of the
entire State. Gray old mountains shelter
her hower-studded plains, where in her
rich soil anything native to the State can
be made great success, and her products
are in the market earlier than from any
surrounding sections.
" And in this valley no total failure of
crops has ever been known The rules
governing profitable Eastern farming apply
here equally well. Napa City is the prin-
cipal town of the valley, and with its en-
vironments it offers to tourists or health
seekers many attractions. The Justly cele-
brated soda and mineral springs are within
her borders, and, indeed, there is no spot
that does not afford delight The people
are extremely hospitable and cordial,
gladly welcoming the fastener, with his
enterprise, energy and capital"
